SURF TIP
New World Order?
Has the time come for some surfing laws? We'd all like to fancy ourselves unflappable Zen masters, but the fact is that after a summer of being shoulder-hopped by the spastic and the uninitiated, even the Lama himself might get a bit...well, flapped.
NEWPORT BEACH PRO
Yeomans Wins and Locals Share Limelight
How many times have you sat at the beach watching a contest, or at home, or even at work watching the webcast, and wished it was you in that neon jersey? An empty lineup, except for a few other competitors, all eyes are on you, sets lining the horizon, and each one rolling towards you with endless opportunity. It's a scenario you may have played out countless times in your imagination, but at the Oakley Newport Beach Pro Presented by Jeep, it's time to throw all that spray where you claim it.

HOLD STEADY
Quiksilver Pro France Means Title Race Is On
Today was a hold day. Which is not that surprising, seeing as we're in France. The French can hold like no other race on earth. And you can't rally or seethe about the hold ups, like when you don't get served or your bill hasn't come or some Frenchman flat tires you with an indifferent pfff.

HANDS ON
Shaper Profile with Tim Bessell
Pacing from his shaping bay to his latest art project to his model for sustainable housing, Tim Bessell pulses a frenetic energy through his La Jolla store front. He beams with an energy befitting a rookie as he skips from one project to the next, and for a man with more than three decades' worth of resin collectively floured on hands, his enthusiasm is encouraging.
FRANCE & MUNDAKA PREVIEW: Is Kelly a Sure Bet for France? Pick Away!
Kelly Slater has officially turned the 2007 Foster's World Championship title hunt on its head. With his victory at the recently completed Boost Mobile Pro, he has vaulted to 2nd place in the overall ratings behind Mick Fanning. A mere 230 points separate the two, while several contenders lurk close behind them.
CLAIMING COMOROS
A Trip to Moustali's Island
The one thing I like most about traveling is that you never know what to expect. In a matter of thirty-six hours, we transitioned from drinking champagne and watching movies on demand in the business class of an intercontinental flights to sleeping on the floor of an overpopulated and smelly piece of rust that serves as inter-island ferry in the remote archipelago of the Comoros.

INDO ROCKED AGAIN
8.4 Ravages Sumatra
As if Sumatra hasn't been sufficiently ravaged by natural disasters in recent years, the angry gods of the Pacific pounded their fists once more, sending a massive 8.4 earthquake aground Wednesday night. With aftershocks of nearly the same magnitudes as the original earth-shattering quake, Indonesia has been fatally pulsating over the past several days.
